New 2,4-D label instructions to reduce spray drift incidents

4 October 2018

The APVMA is taking proactive action for the 2018 summer spraying season to reduce the likelihood of spray drift damage.

As of 3 October 2018, the new 2,4-D label instructions came into effect and old labels have been suspended. Users of 2,4-D must comply with the new label instructions, even if they are using products with the old labels.

The APVMA has issued permit PER 87174 "The New Instructions" to allow persons to possess, have custody of, supply, and/or use 2,4-D products currently on farm and in retail outlets. Supply at the point of retail sale must occur with the new instructions being provided with each container supplied.
